what I use most

depending on what you already use

to fill the time

picking up and putting down  

Not unthinkable that I’d pick up Infinite Jest while pulling away from Twitter. It’s been my morning hit and my mind-alteration for more months than I can honestly admit. The feed, the gear, the puzzle of assembling wildly dischordant thought facets into a shimmering picture of naow. The hearts and heads and languages, stitched together by the happenstance of chronology. Subsidized Time.

Nineteen when I first read Jest (and crushed, and blogged) and now thirty-two. In this reading, the meetings are making more sense. The day to day. The cliff of Material and the days you know you will pick it up again. There's a difference between abstinence v. recovery, Gately knows.
